FAQs

Cal Poly has a computer algorithm to rank students by MCA score. Acceptances are based on this figure.

What is a good MCA?/What is an MCA that will get me in?

That's not really data that Cal Poly makes public. But you can take a look at accepted student profiles
on College Confidential to get an idea of where you stand.

Who are you?

I call myself u/WizardApple on Reddit. I'm an applicant just like you and was frustrated with the rate
decisions are coming out. I decided to make a little MCA calculator for my fellow applicants to release
that nervous energy.

My intended major is CS, and my MCA is a measly 4644.

Do you collect my data?

Hell no. I have no reason to. Your MCA is your data, and you can share it as
you choose.
